I've got the 0561 in Sand Color...and LOVE it. Deep pocket carry...like it DISAPPEARS deep pocket carry. Not a small knife...but not really a large one either...JUST right IMHO. PLUS...it's so deceptively light for a knife it's size...amazing really. The titanium really makes the difference on that factor, and being a frame lock..it is solid as a rock. The flipper action is butter smooth, and they have just the right amount of traction on the scale and TI handle to keep it in place and make for a very solid feel when you handle it. Best knife I've had so far. I've also got a TI Spyderco Military...and they share the TI frame lock...but that's it. Both great knives...but the ZT get's in my pocket on a daily basis. Haven't really pushed it or used it much beyond basic cutting chores, but will assume that the Elmax steel is up for the challenge if I do. Better knife out there for the money?...haven't seen it yet. Got mine on a super deal at Blade HQ recently. Good luck with your decision.
